If they didn't hold the capital hostage from the doers of the world, laborers, as is the point of capitalism, it would be a lot easier.
Instead the do nothing capitalists keep the vast majority of the value generated, and provide just enough for the people that made it to subsist. It's a shame so many they would never let within 100 feet of their clubs, towers, or compounds defend their con.
Not surprising though, we're propagandized through the media they own and the curriculum they influence to deify the con-game that is capitalism. We were conquered by the contemporaries of the traveling snake oil salesmen of old.
Sorry what's your alternative? I'm guessing communism?
In that system how do you efficiently allocate capital? Do you use a command economy?
I'm not deifying anything, it just seems that capitalism is the most efficient economic system we can come up with. And combined with regulation seems to produce pretty good results, see most of the better parts of Europe for example
"Everything I don't like is communism." There's always one of you morons in every thread. I'm sure this comment will change everyone's mind.
By all means suggest something else. It feels like 90% of the time people that are anti capitalism either suggest communism or don't understand that they just want capitalism with tighter regulation What's your suggestion?
